Rode Blimp Windshield & Rycote Shock Mount System
A complete windshield and shock mount system that provides superior wind and handling noise reduction for shotgun microphones in outdoor and location recording.

The RØDE Blimp with integrated Rycote Lyre suspension system is a professional solution for reducing wind and handling noise when recording with shotgun microphones. Designed for use in outdoor and field environments, the blimp fully encloses the microphone in a lightweight windshield that significantly minimizes wind rumble and environmental interference. The Rycote Lyre shock mount isolates the microphone from mechanical vibrations, preventing unwanted handling noise during boom operation or handheld use.

It also features an adjustable pistol grip handle with internal cable routing for cleaner setup and reduced cable noise. For extreme wind conditions, the included RØDE DeadWombat furry cover provides an additional layer of protection. Built with lightweight yet durable materials, the Blimp is comfortable to operate for extended shoots and dependable in professional environments.
